That happens to me too. I think that is a Windows issue that happens each

I did this:
C:\Documents and Settings\Ronald Teune>chkdsk V: /F
The type of the file system is FAT32.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another

Would you like to force a dismount on this volume? (Y/N) y
Volume dismounted. All opened handles to this volume are now invalid.
